Overnight Open Thread (10-4-2015)
Even a cat may look at a king. But apparently, males should keep their eyes averted at all times, in a proper show of subservience.
-- Glenn Reynolds on how even looking at a women without her consent is considered sexual assault on some campuses
In the imagined "gun-free zone," even the most inept miscreant with a gun is king.

A world of ZZ Top tribute bands, minus the music and girls. Bet the kids can't wait.
-- Tim Blair on what a world 'in the light of Islam' means
No gays, but fleet-footed pre-op transsexuals in abundance? Odd place, Iran.
-- Ian Tuttle on the revelation that 8 members of Iranian Women's Soccer Team are actually men
Quote of the Day V - More Mush From The Wimp Edition
Unless we work together to defeat the ideas that drive different communities in a country like Iraq into conflict, any order that our militaries can impose will be temporary ... I believe in my core that repression cannot forge the social cohesion for nations to succeed ... You can jail your opponents, but you can't imprison ideas.
-- Obama trying to tiptoe around Islamism as a fundamental cause of the current Mideast violence
I'm urged to ask those who created this situation: do you at least realize now what you've done? ... I'd like to tell those who engage in this: Gentlemen, the people you are dealing with are cruel but they are not dumb. They are as smart as you are. So, it's a big question: who's playing who here?
-- Putin criticizing US involvement in the Middle East
What Really Happened During the 2013 Nairobi Westgate Mall Attack
Most of what you heard at the time turns out to be wrong.
It turns out, what happened in September, 2013, is not what we've been told. The official line goes something like this: that up to a dozen armed jihadis attacked, killed hundreds, holed up with dozens of hostages and blew the place up, and were taken out in a determined assault by Nairobi SWAT.
In fact there were only four lightly armed jihadis and the police assault was a complete cock-up that took place way too late to save anyone. It was the actions of a few concealed weapon carriers and brave policemen who immediately engaged the gunmen that brought the attack to an end.
While the police hesitated, like the cops at the Columbine, Colorado school shooting in the USA, individual non-police gun carriers and a few bold individual policemen entered the mall in pursuit of the four gunmen. These guys are the ones you see saving those who were saved.
...When the Kenyan police and army finally attacked many hours later, they did it by an uncoordinated strike through separate entrances, and when they two forces met, they engaged each other. After that, the elite police SWAT-like unit took their casualties and went home, and the Army and other police proceeded to trash the place.
CNN White-Washing the Oregon Killer - Literally

Advantage: Bon Jovi who seems to be a mensch. Waters by comparison is an Jew-hating bully.
Bon Jovi was going to play a concert in the Twin Cities the following Saturday night. The man explained that there was a retarded boy in the Twin Cities-sorry, I honestly don't know the current euphemism-with whom Bon Jovi had a big brother relationship, and whenever he was in Minnesota he made time to spend with the boy. They thought it would be fun to go boating on the St. Croix. So, could Mr. Bon Jovi rent their boat for the following Sunday? Our personnel director and her husband said that they would be happy to lend their boat for free, if they could come along.The following Sunday, at a time when most rock stars of that era (or any other) would have been sleeping off a night of excess, Jon Bon Jovi, his assistant and the young boy met with my friend and her husband at the marina, and enjoyed an afternoon of boating on the river. That's when the photo was taken. There is nothing unique about Minnesota: I assume that for several decades, Bon Jovi has done similar good deeds around the country with zero publicity. So, as you can imagine, I have long had a good opinion of Jon Bon Jovi.
Fast forward to 2015. While many of his rock and roll contemporaries have succumbed to dissipation and in some cases are six feet under, Bon Jovi is still performing. He scheduled a concert in Tel Aviv, which drew the wrath of Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, who is now an obsessive anti-Israel activist and, in my opinion, an anti-Semite. Whenever a high-profile entertainer undertakes to perform in Israel, Waters weighs in, in bullying fashion.
Jon Bon Jovi kicked off his band's first-ever performance in Israel Saturday evening by telling 50,000 cheering Israelis "I've waited a long time for this!"
A few songs into the show, he underlined his empathy with Israel by introducing a new song called "We Don't Run," released earlier this summer, with the comment: "This should be the fight song for Tel Aviv."
And later in the performance, the New Jersey-born rocker name-checked his keyboard player, the Jewish musician David Bryan (Rashbaum), by saying that "your father would be proud of you" for being in Israel pounding the piano.
Slate: The ALA's Banned Books Week Is a Crock
Even Slate is calling out the American Library Association's annual Banned Book Week as BS. The ALA considers a parent merely complaining about a book's inclusion on a mandatory school reading list as a 'banning'. But of course they ignore the real actual banning of works on campuses due to political correctness:
Yet what intrigues me about Banned Books Week publicity, and the likely political agenda over at ALA headquarters, is not what it features but what it excludes. For there is, in fact, an ongoing effort to ban books in America in 2015-that is, to exclude them from classroom reading lists, if not prevent their publication and sale - but it is taking place not on school boards in our nation's rural communities but on college campuses in some of the most progressive and sophisticated communities in the United States. At Columbia University in Manhattan, for example, Ovid's Metamorpheses has been excluded from the syllabus because of objections about sexual violence and replaced with-irony alert!-Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. Rutgers is considering the attachment of required "trigger warnings" for The Great Gatsby and Huckleberry Finn, and based on individual complaints, innumerable other colleges and universities are pondering the future of such works as Mrs. Dalloway or The Merchant of Venice on student reading lists.

VW Not The Only Car Manufacturer Gaming Emissions Testing
Four major car manufacturers were dragged into the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal last night after Government-funded research revealed that their engines are emitting toxic fumes at up to seven times the legal limit.British researchers tested hundreds of new diesel cars on UK roads and found that popular brands including BMW, Ford, Mazda and Mercedes, as well as Volkswagen and Audi, all emitted levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) far higher than the limits required to pass European tests.
Last night, the researchers said the huge discrepancy between real-world diesel emissions and the legal limits set by the European Commission was 'extremely concerning' - and suggested that Volkswagen was not alone in finding ways to pass laboratory tests.
Makes you wonder if any diesel car manufacturers were able to meet the new stringent NOx requirements. This story suggests not.

Good to read that info about Jon Bon Jovi. It probably won't help his image here, but I've read JBJ is also good friends with... Chris Christie.
As for Roger Waters, I think it's fair to call him the Bobby Fischer of rock music. Brilliant but so ridonkulously bigoted and arrogant he's not worth knowing. I believe I've read/heard that even the other members of Pink Floyd want nothing to do with him any more.

"At least,' she corrected herself on second thoughts, "a beautiful cravat, I should have said - no, a belt, I mean - I beg your pardon!" she added in dismay, for Humpty Dumpty looked thoroughly offended, and she began to wish she hadn't chosen that subject.

Bon Jovi has a few good songs. Bad Medicine, I actually like. The one he and Ritchie Sambora did with Jennifer Nettles --- the Who Says You Can't Go Home song --- I liked too. I liked It's My Life, but Sambora went and quit. So I don't know now about Bon Jovi.

Took an underage girl across a state line to be a "hostess" in a night club he owned, thereby running afoul of the Mann Act. He served time in jail for it, but has never admitted guilt AFAIK, and was quite bitter about being railroaded. I don't know if the objective truth has ever come out.

There's something about the "SRY" gene, which is the one of the Y chromosome, that if normal, is what stars the masculinizing process. Things can get screwed up with that in all sorts of ways, which makes for all the crazy gender bender cases. Actually pinning it down is pretty complicated in the marginal cases.

I know Van is sick of hearing about "Brown Eyed Girl" and claims to severely dislike it. I personally think it has a lot to do with the fact he had a *bad* relationship with the owner of his at-that-time record company, Bert Berns.

This is the thing I do not understand about Zombie shows/movies. You have a gold mine in terms of story ideas with respect to zombies! Why do so many of them seem to completely forget about the zombies and spend more time talking/arguing/showing the human condition instead?
I think a lot of it on the walking dead is that the creator has swallowed the whole "Humans are the REAL monsters!" trope. All the characters are so... hopeless and joyless.

What is interesting is the lack of his mother. One photo of her. One screen-captured conversation on social media re: guns. No reference, or rare, that she is black or biracial.
It seems to me that it should not matter what race you are if you are a satanic barbarian killing innocent people in a school or a church or wherever (speaking of innocent people in Syria, twelve more Christians were beheaded refusing to submit to islame).
What interests me more is his social media, well-scrubbed and probably the reason for the abnormal delay in releasing his name. It was not to notify his parents first, as what stopped them from the name when Gabby was shot and the media spewed a Tea Party connection? Of course they globbed on to this guy's supposedly being a Republican when he is registered as an Independent in Oregon.
The delay of name, the mom missing information, the lack of social media and, supposedly, doctored crap online plus the school being where one of the Paris train heroes attended do all ad up to me wearing tinfoil. People died if they were Christian. Did Otyrant speak to that...oh, and he is not welcome in that town per the editor of the paper. xoxo

She is still pretty attractive (read that....pretty stacked), and she was probably pretty hot 30 years ago. She was working as a waitress with a small child from her first marriage (divorced) and John Cougar Mellencamp was touring, and stopped to eat in her restaurant, and wanted her to travel with him on tour (ahem).

I have yet to hear Joel really mouth off about politics, and even when he endorsed Obama in 2008, he made sure to say at the end of it all, "of course I could be wrong."
Also, if you listen to some of his spoken-word group interview that is on the 4th disc of his box set "The Billy Joel Collection," when he talks about Vietnam, the only politician he made fun of was Johnson. Joel said, when LBJ resigned: "'I come to you tonight with a heavy heart.' Yeah, Lyndon, and big ears."

When you're dealing with clients as deep-pocket as him, about all you can do is nod and agree. "Yessir, the moon is made of green cheese!! You're brilliant sir!!" Too often, there's too much to lose if you disagree.

If you ever get to hear David Benoit, live on stage, you'll hope n' pray that he rocks out the Linus n' Lucy Suite on the grand piano.
Borders on piano abuse, but he absolutely and (seemingly contradictory, but such is his talent), beats those tunes into sublime submission, makes 'em his bitch.
And to the absolute delight of the audience, I hasten to add.
He'll start out with playing it straight, and it's amazingly like hearing the original, played lovingly and with great respect. But then the intensity......dials up, and it's time to fasten your seat belts.
Worth the price if he's in your area.

When I got back to the produce section, there was no fiancee to be found. I did another scan of the store to find the fiancee, and found her in the produce section -- she had done her own scan of the entire store when I expected her to be in the produce section and had recently returned.
We had some discussion, and I gave her the stuff I wanted to buy and went out to the car to get more reusable bags and a new cart. We can now all say this together: "When I got back to the produce section, there was no fiancee to be found. I did another scan of the store to find the fiancee, and found her in the produce section -- she had done her own scan of the entire store when I expected her to be in the produce section and had recently returned."
At this point, I identified a similar truncated cart that had an "MIT/Sloan Management" bag laying in it that hadn't moved since the first time I'd scanned the produce section [auditor]. We both agree that we have more shopping to do, and we wander off to do this. I'm trying to think of something to eat beyond the twice-baked spud and visit the meat counter, cold counter, and hot counter (while visiting cheeses to snarf a bunch of overpriced gouda samples....mmm, mmm -- if only it were half as pricey -- maybe I should sample a bit more.
Then I decide to find the fiancee and see where we are. We can all sing this together: "When I got back to the produce section, there was no fiancee to be found. I did another scan of the store to find the fiancee, and found here in the
So, then, we go to check out. After the fiancee checks out, I ask if she ever checked lost-and-found. Then I schlep the stuff to the car while she circles back to check.
When she shows up with the Harris Teeter bags, I ask if she ever told the lost-and-found about the MIT/Sloan bag, and she hadn't -- so I went in and made sure that went to l+f as well.
I feel like I put 3 and 3 and 3 together and got 27.....but it was all to unscramble a bunch of thoughtlessness regarding a couple of $1 bags.

HC Jr seemed like a pretty cool guy to me. His sister lived in the same town where the radio station I worked at, and he would just pop by when he was in town unannounced.
The guys in Hootie and The Blowfish were also pretty good guys. They came by the radio station and sat around the lobby shooting the shit with the staff the whole afternoon of their concert. They finally left about an hour before the concert started. Darrius Rucker was not there, he had to go to see a doctor.
Aaron Neville was about the nicest guy in the world, and if you didn't know who he was, you would have thought he was a warehouse employee. He also had some huge damn arms.

The guys that had lost it and were now in a mini comeback were all great to work with. We used to do a summer concert series at a local high school stadium, (it held about 20K), and some of those guys were just fine with sharing a field house lockerroom with a couple of other bands. They didn't bitch that the place didn't have very many amenities, they knew that about 10K people were outside waiting to hear them, and that is all they now cared about.
Bands/performers don't really understand that they have about 7-8 years to make their hay. After that, they start having less and less appeal as the age group that made them "popular" grows older and moves on to other things.

Actually, worse. In hacking contests at events like DEFCON, the Mac target system is nearly always the first to fall under outside control.
The main issue for malware makers is where the money is. If you're in the business of renting out a botnet for DDoS attacks, sheer numbers are going to favor building it from Windows PCs.
There is reason why Microsoft finally gave up and made updates mandatory on the consumer versions of Windows 10. The other versions still give you control options (the dividing line is whether the version supports joining a server domain) but the rank and file home users are just never going to do the right thing.

The way I look at it is that it's an instant signifier as to how fucked-up-in-the-head a region is. If you ban single-use plastic bags, you instantly buy-in to a doubling or tripling of cases of food poisoning -- which mostly target the very young or the very old. This is in response to a mostly theoretical threat to marine life or of landfill overuse. So when you're ready to kill 20 kids by diarrhea in a provable way to maybe save a sea-turtle from choking on a plastic bag.....your region must be seriously messed-up.

BTW: as a kid, my older sister was IN LOVE with Bon Jovi and got to go to his concert and everything -- she had a lifesize poster of Jon on the door of the room we shared and she plastered pics of them all over our walls -- Tiger Beat, Teen Beat etc magazines. I was only 7 or 8 but I wanted to be just like my older, cool teen sister so I loved Bon Jovi, too. Sister said, "Jon, Richie, and Tico are mine, you can have anyone else." I chose David Bryan, cool '80s perm and all! I had no idea he was Jewish, so that's really great that he got to perform in Jerusalem.

I don't know what your particular situation was but oftentimes returned mails aren't even coming from your computer. It's easy for anyone to attach your email address as the "From" and "Reply To" addresses, even though the mail isn't coming from your mail server. Other servers turn it around and it comes to you.
I'm not saying that was your problem but it does happen a lot (since it's so easy) and requires no hacking of any sort, just your email address and a name (preferably yours, to them) to attach onto it to make it look like it was sent from you. Your name and address get on a list and ... boom!

Never got around Billy Squire, and Van Halen never came to town when I was working, so I don't know much about them. However, everyone says Sammy Haggar is a great guy, and if my memory is right, he did a couple of call in interviews, and then a week later, the record company sent us some "shoutouts" that he did for the station.
Styx, everyone in the band hated Dennis DeYoung with the fire of a 1000 suns. One of the band members banged the receptionist while they were in town, and he just ragged on DeYoung the whole time he was at the station waiting to "go to lunch" with her.
Michael Bolton was a dick of the first degree. He had a bunch of roadies that were chosen because they could crush a softball. When they would come to town, they would challenge a local station to a softball game. They had very specific instructions on the field dimensions, especially the outfield walls. The first couple of innings would be a regular game, but in the 2nd inning, they would break out some titanium bats, and their long fly balls that dropped short of the outfield walls then started flying over those walls. So the game went from 2-1, to 22-2 real quick as all of his fans cooed and awed that they humiliated the radio station like that. Of course, the radio station was playing with gloves and bats borrowed from somebody since a lot of radio people tend not to be athletes.
But, one station found out about what they were doing, and they got several titanium bats. And, they got some ringers to come play. Same thing as always, Bolton's team takes a 10-1 lead, and they say well, this is the last inning, the radio station then pulls out their bats and starts hitting dinger after dinger. They pull ahead 12-10 after the bottom of the inning. Bolton goes ballistic and says "we can play another inning", they keep playing. At the bottom of the inning, Bolton's team is still down, so now the cocksucker has his team bat in the top of the inning, they get a one run lead, then he says "sorry, we have to go right now because we are late for soundcheck". So Bolton's team "wins" the game and kept their "unbeaten" streak that they would crow about when issuing the challenge to radio stations.
After that, most radio stations passed on playing his softball team. And his music.
The guys from Aerosmith were pretty cool, but Tyler wasn't with them at the appearance, and the vibe from them was that they were okay with that.
Bruce Hornsby, he was an okay guy.
Goo Goo Dolls, dicks.
ZZTop, pretty cool guys.
I really didn't like hanging around the bands because after dealing with a lot of them, you really stopped giving a shit about being around them.

I was responding to multiple reports, mainly in the British press, that had your region receiving 200-year-flood amounts of precipitation. You sent me a pic of your front-yard under quite a bit of water when it was a "20-year-flood".....I see this shit in the British press and I'm worried for you. It doesn't help that the "Great Dismal Swamp" is your upstream neighbor.

What would/should go into one re-usable paper bag each time, ends up in 17 plastic bags that I will never make up uses for (Tucker doesn't shit THAT much).
I have an 18" base cabinet in the kitchen that is crammed full of those things that I'll never use up - why can't they make them .001 mil thicker and only use one to bag bag my groceries?

Then, Trump's take on this was "this is not a gun problem, this is a mental health problem", totally thrilled enough that he said that, but hold on, he also told NBC's Meet the Press that the answer might be MORE GUNS and that if there had been more guns at the school, not as many people may have died.

Yeah, Perry was really a nice guy, but I never really liked hanging around most of the bands. Me in a suit being busy as hell didn't really lend to wanting to be in fan boy mode. Especially since 4 other people in the previous 24 months had been in my job, and the station owner didn't really like the GM hanging out with record company people. I mostly introduced myself, welcomed them to the station, then went to meetings. Some would stop by on their way out and thank me for letting them be on the air or playing their songs, and Perry was one of those.

Fuckity. You can't trust anyone, hardly. Also, I just checked and while Gateway has backed off the CNN claim including CNN's denial, Conservative Treehouse has not yet backed off.

Yeah. Drudge is supposed to do that too. Ya know, it's a mystery to me why he occasionally links to infowars. That's like taking your sterling reputation and washing it in the loo every now and then.
I wonder if Drudge will issue a mea culpa apology as well.

I quit going to Drudge quite a while back. The thing is - I get so much "news and politics" here & at WZ, I just don't have enough cares left to read anywhere else.
You guys will link anything that I need to know about in the comments, so that about eats up my daily ration of brain cells.

If you want to be a professional athlete, common decency would suggest that if you are pre-op you ought to at least be able to qualify in the men's division. Otherwise, you are a lamer, a bully and a coward, and should consider something else that you're actually qualified to do.
It's like that hideous tennis player.

>>>When so much progression has been made for LGBT rights, Trans Rights and more, the Right still wants to attack the decisions that women make with regards to women and reproduction. Laws are getting worse, and it's VERY backwards.
Apart from the bad writing, I wonder what she's talking about. The laws on trafficking in human body parts are being ignored, clinics are not being closed because of it. So from the author's perspective, that would be an improvement.

Oh and I'm rooting for the Russians in Syria too, as opposed to a successful execution of US policy which would seem to want another failed, Jihadi infested state. Does that make me a bad American?

I have an 18" base cabinet in the kitchen that is crammed full of
those things that I'll never use up - why can't they make them .001 mil
thicker and only use one to bag bag my groceries?
That .001 mil adds up over millions of bags.

However, in the spirit of being fact based, I would present Bill with a fact and a scientific question. The constitution states that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Therefore, are fertilized eggs that have attached alive? And, if so, what is their genus and species?
I ask because the right to abortion in a political concept created by the courts, as opposed the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" which is expressed in our Declaration. A possible disqualification of the right to Life, which has presides to all other rights because how can you have other rights and not be alive, would be if you said that the cells are not, in fact, "men."
I find that argument to be disingenuous though, in light of the fact that the genus and species are the qualifier of type for all other life forms despite there level of development. (For example, the metamorphic changes of some insects, fishes, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates considering the consistency of genus and species as defined by DNA from fertilization to death.)
